Ding You at Heavenly River Water Mansion, in Chen Mu’s small courtyard.

Black and white beams of light, like two cats, chased each other and danced in mid-air.

Chen Mu lay in a rocking chair, watching the spectacle in the sky with interest.

With a single thought,

Buzz!

The black and white lights flew simultaneously in front of Chen Mu, transforming into a palm-sized black Moon Blade and a fist-sized ghastly pale Bone Sphere.

“Innate Primordial Qi really has boundless uses!”

Chen Mu’s face bore a beaming smile.

Having formed the River Chariot, he only had to reverse the Divine Orifice to transform Mana into Innate Primordial Qi.

While testing the effects of Innate Primordial Qi, he unexpectedly discovered that the idle Yang Judge Bone Sphere and Yin Moon Blade also reacted. Consequently, he fed them several streams of Innate Qi.

Originally uncontrollable due to absorbing the Spirit Mechanism, the Yin and Yang errors unexpectedly came back under control, as easy to direct as one’s own limbs, even more nimble than before.

“According to what Lian Xi said, the Yin and Yang errors might be the fetus of some Heavenly Demon Monster.”

“After merging into the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine, it became a Magic Treasure similar to a Root Device.”

“Otherwise, it couldn’t transform the Yin Spirit Divine Power into cold white mist to strengthen the Heavenly Demon Body.”

Chen Mu closed his eyes; a blurred image of a starry night sky emerged in his mind.

Those shimmering silver points were the scattered Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds.

Ever since the Yin and Yang errors merged with Spirit Mechanism, as he continuously transformed Yin Spirit Divine Power into cold white mist, his Heavenly Demon Body significantly improved and its connection with the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seeds deepened. Consequently, this starry night image intermittently surfaced in his mind.

“Looking at it this way, Innate Primordial Qi may well expedite the merging of the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine and the Yin and Yang errors.”

Chen Mu understood clearly.

He speculated that the two had already begun merging earlier; otherwise, there wouldn’t be any production of cold white mist.

However, spontaneous merging was ultimately slow, and Innate Qi clearly played some catalytic role.

But that wasn’t all.

Chen Mu retracted the Yin and Yang errors into his brow’s Secret Acupoint and channeled Yin Spirit Divine Power into it.

Humming…

The Yang Judge Bone Sphere stood at the center of the Secret Acupoint, slowly rotating, while the Yin Moon Blade danced around it.

The Yin Spirit Divine Power flew into the space between them and vanished in a blink. Clusters of cold white mist rapidly formed.

“The speed of transforming into cold white mist has also clearly increased.”

“The Dragon Ball Spirit Machine and Yin and Yang errors are merging even more tightly,” Chen Mu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Whoosh!

The Yin and Yang errors surfaced in mid-air. With a thought, the black and white lights once again transformed into beams of light that shot into his brow.

“When not in use, they can be kept inside for nurturing, and when needed, they can be summoned by mere thought; this can definitely be considered a high-grade Magic Treasure.”

“It’s just a pity that it’s not at the legendary Flying Sword Jumping Pills level, only barely fitting my identity as a Qi Cultivator.”

“Hmm, it’s just making do, really.”

“Ha ha!”

After playing around several times, Chen Mu’s smile grew wider.

Several days later.

Ding You at Heavenly River Water Mansion, Bixi Alley.

The region encompassing four cross streets was shrouded in an invisible domineering presence. Inside, it was utterly silent; even home-kept wolves and Exotic Beasts cowered with paws over their heads, daring not to make the slightest noise.

Rows of Water Mansion Warriors, clad in black armor, systematically searched each household.

Qiu Jinwu stood expressionless on a rooftop, his gaze colder than ever.

“Senior Qiu, the Seeking Spirit Pearl shows no response. The Dragon Ball Spirit Machine, I’m afraid… I’m afraid it has been completely refined,” Jiao Shi said, his face pale and eyes flashing with panic.

How could this happen?!

Just a step away from success, the Spirit Machine suddenly vanished.

Damn it!

Originally, just by finding the Spirit Machine, Qiu Jinwu would have been willing to join the Thousand Mechanisms Sect as a Daoist Soldier, and his father wouldn’t have had to risk his life on the Outer Heaven Battlefield.

But now… now though Qiu Jinwu still had to go to the Thousand Mechanisms Sect, as the contract compelled him,

the other party’s desire remained unfulfilled, and should any complication arise, after all…

“I’ve heard there is a Death Replacement Technique that can avoid the backlash of the contract,” Qiu Jinwu spoke softly.

Troublesome!

Jiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat.

Lion Street, outside the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, a group of warriors in black armor quickly passed by with a jangling noise.

“What’s going on?”

Chen Mu, who was closely inspecting White Jade under Song Jiang’s stern gaze, couldn’t help but turn his head towards the direction the warriors had disappeared, curiously looking at the lean old man behind the counter.

“It’s all because of that Millet Dream illness,” Manager Li complained.

“That illness that makes people fall into a deep sleep and never wake up? Wasn’t it contained within Bixi Lane?” Chen Mu asked, puzzled.

“If only it could be contained,” Manager Li sighed.

“Some time ago, I heard that the Water Mansion had sent an expert to search every inch of Bixi Alley, but they found nothing.”

“Now several shopkeepers on Lion Street have been affected, all lying at home in a comatose state.”

“The Water Mansion Warriors even said it was some kind of evil Cursing Method, haha, bullshit!” Manager Li said with indignation.

“It must be that the warriors took bribes and secretly let someone escape from Bixi Alley, spreading that Millet Dream illness.”

“I figured those people wanted to pawn off their assets and flee. Heavenly Water Pavilion’s Old Yang, Hundred Treasure Tower’s Xiao Zhou and others always had big guts and dark hearts, driven by greed they made private contacts with those people, which led them to fall into the cursed sleep.”

Heavenly Water Pavilion’s Old Yang? Hundred Treasure Tower’s Xiao Zhou?

It seems that these two were among those represented in my Spell Grassmen at home…

“How many shopkeepers have been unlucky?” Chen Mu asked.

“Five or six, I think; I didn’t keep count,” the lean shopkeeper responded casually.

Chen Mu’s mouth twitched.

Hmm, confirmed, the Water Mansion Warriors were indeed not deceiving anyone.

Those comatose shopkeepers had indeed been affected by the evil Cursing Method.

But that’s not my fault at all, it was purely self-defense!

He felt utterly helpless.

Over the past half year, he had sold hundreds of Through-Rhino Hundred Miasma Pills every ten or fifteen days, earning nearly thirty thousand pieces of White Jade.

Wealth tempts the heart, and those warehouse managers always tried to secretly track his whereabouts, clearly with malintent towards him!

So Chen Mu had made a Spell Grassman for each of these managers.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already knocked down six shopkeepers in a row.

Tsk!

“Brother Song, you must be careful out there,” Manager Li said with sincere concern.

“Manager Li, you also need to be cautious and careful,” Chen Mu replied, earnestly comforting.

Now that people were already panicking, he really didn’t want to add another Spell Grassman at home.

Half a month later.

Inside Bixi Alley of the Heavenly River Water Mansion.

“As you can see, this type of Death Replacement Technique does indeed share the bearer’s suffered injuries, but to escape the Five Thunders Bombarding from the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor, even the most clever Death Replacement Technique is useless,” Jiao Shi earnestly explained without seeing Qiu Jinwu.

“The Pure Yang Dao Ancestor resides beyond the outer realms, an existence spanning countless tens of thousands of years, no ordinary person can withstand the heavenly punishment of the Dao Ancestor.”

“The Dragon Ball Spirit Machine is indeed a treasure, but it’s not worth risking our lives to tamper with the Daoist Soldier Contract.”

“It must be that the owner of the Spirit Machine found a suitable container and successfully refined the Spirit Machine into it, hence we lost track of the Spirit Machine.”

Holding a Jade Tablet, Qiu Jinwu expressionlessly flipped through the secret techniques inside it and sighed after a long while.

He had sold an entire Goose Sheep Path, only to receive a pile of Dragon Ball Embryos in return.

Although those items were precious, they provided no aid to his Primordial Spirit path.

Now he must face the reality of the complete loss of the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine.

“Senior Qiu, you don’t have to be disheartened,” Jiao Shi looked at him cautiously, trying to offer some consolation.

“The Outer Heaven Battlefield is indeed perilous, but it’s also filled with opportunities.”

“Not to mention the natural Root Devices on various Heavenly Demons, as long as you accumulate enough Daoist Cultivation, you could exchange it for Spirit Treasure Secret Techniques from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.”

“The Root Devices of external paths are primarily for cultivating the True Form of Heavenly Demons and mainly generate Profound Yin Qi.”

“Primordial Spirit growth requires Pure Yang Qi, even if you obtained a complete Dragon Ball, you would still need to spend much effort to transform and refine it, far less compatible than the Spirit Treasure Secret Technique with your Primordial Spirit.”

“The loss of the Dragon Ball Spirit Machine this time is both a calamity and a blessing. In the short term, it is difficult, but it may actually enable your Primordial Spirit path to go further and more steadily.”

Qiu Jinwu was expressionless, but he couldn’t help but sigh helplessly in his heart.

When he had left the Tianhe Law Realm, he had already felt the premonition of losing the Spirit Machine. Coming to Hai Province was more about not giving up.

Now it was a complete acceptance of the situation.

It seems that his Primordial Spirit path would ultimately rely on the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.

Qiu Jinwu took a deep breath, having made up his mind.
